Construction industry greenwash fails to persuade majority – AI finds

Well, fancy that. 

Aggregate Industries – the company wanting to haul as-dug aggregate 23 miles between quarry face and processing plant, more than any other UK quarry operation and some 2.5 million HGV miles in all – the company that has given up reporting CO2 emissions after failing to make any progress over the last 20 years – wonders why 91% of people believe the construction sector is not delivering long-term sustainable solutions, and 51% of consumers do not trust the industry when it says it is committed to carbon reduction.

Surely the company need only take one look at itself to find the answer.
